afrika · July 1, 2004, 9:54pm

Hello

PROBLEM

I am trying to get users on my site to enter a valid date. IN THE ASP SCRIPT BELOW. So that the date woudl be used as a variable in a hidden field which is passed over to be inserted in my database

IMPLEMENTATION
I used 3 drop down boxes (day, month and year)

But it doesnt seem to work. Am not proficient with Javascript, only VB script

SOLUTION
Has anyone got any;

Scripts to do this
Assist with the script below
thanks

<%@LANGUAGE=“VBSCRIPT” CODEPAGE=“1252”%>
<script type=“text/javascript” language=“javascript”>
function doit(oForm)
{
var dateStr = oForm.Month.options[oForm.Month.selectedIndex].value + ‘/’ + oForm.Day.options[oForm.Month.selectedIndex].value + ‘/’ + oForm.Year.options[oForm.Month.selectedIndex].value

oForm.theDate.value = dateStr;

return true;
}
</script>
